Amos Poe is one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement (1976-85) that grew out of the bustling East Village music and art scene. The No Wave Cinema included Jim Jarmusch, Eric Mitchell, Beth B and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, John Lurie, Becky Johnston, James Nares, Richard Kern and Nick Zedd, among others. This NYC based group embraced B-movie genres, the avant-garde & the French New Wave, to create a fresh, vibrant American art cinema.
Poe is considered by many (see John Pierson's book, "Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes") to be the "father" of the modern independent American cinema. In 1975, Poe in collaboration with Ivan Kral (bass player of The Patti Smith Group) produced, shot, directed and edited the now classic and definitive punk movie, THE BLANK GENERATION. The film chronicles the seminal performances of Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell and the Heartbreakers, Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, et. al.
In 1976, Poe produced, wrote, directed and edited his first $5,000 B&W feature, UNMADE BEDS, an homage to Godard's "Breathless". In 1977, using a car loan, Poe made his most influential film, THE FOREIGNER (starring Eric Mitchell & Debbie Harry). Poe finished his "underground trilogy" with SUBWAY RIDERS in 1981. These films starred the "stars" of the downtown demimonde.
“The three films—Unmade Beds, The Foreigner and Subway Rider—represent a kind of trilogy. The first is a European film made in New York City, a reinvention of the nouvelle vague in the context of New York. I wanted to start where Godard started, to go back to basics: innocence, romanticism, bohemianism, all the things that made up New York City for me at that time. It is the story of an artist: a medium, an ego, and a changed society. He thinks his camera is a gun, he thinks he is Belmondo, and he thinks New York is Paris. His fate is therefore doomed. So when Godard and his pals at the Cinemateque saw Sirk, Hawks, et cetera, they tried to make films like that—but they failed. Instead they created the New Wave. My attempt created a kind of New Wave in New York."

tios, de verdad, ahora si que me habeis acabado de romper, de verdad, hasta ahora me habían parecido exagerados ciertos hallazgos en este foro, pero esto me rompe los esquemas y supera todas mis expectativas ¿y que es lo que dices? ¿que después vas a colgar de the foreigner? 
pero sigue siendo imposible conseguir The Blank Generation, ¿verdad?
